Navigating Adulthood One Day At A Time

30 Day Challenge- week 3

What I meant to do was write another post during week 2 of my 30 day challenge…what happened is, I didn’t. Life has been crazy, including but not limited to get our offer accepted on a house! Despite all this I have still been holding strong on the 30 day challenge.

I attend barre 3-4 times per week. I have to say this has changed my body drastically just in the two full weeks I have been doing it. I have been doing barre for about 6 month but during school I was only going once or twice per week. Adding an extra couple day has been huge! I have only lost 2 pounds technically but I have gained so much muscle. I can hold a plank for days (I still feel like dying when I’m doing it though.) The definition in my arms and stomach have changed a lot. After week 4 I will be posting pictures of the transformation.

Eating better has helped too, but here is the caveat; I don’t eat perfectly. I ALWAYS have a healthy breakfast and usually a decent lunch. Dinner is where things get lenient. I make healthier meals but sometimes we go out or eat with family and sometimes I just want to make something easy and delicious that may have a lot of cheese in it. Man I love cheese… and pasta…and bread…

Regardless, making the small changes I’ve made has done some incredible things. Below are some of the things I have eaten that are on the healthier side that you may enjoy as well.

Egg white scramble with salsa and avocado and a side of turkey bacon.

Healthy chicken salad made with chicken, Greek yogurt, dried cranberries, onion and apples. Instead of putting it on bread I ate it on avocado.

Sweet and spicy chicken fingers. Made with almond flour, hot sauce and honey.
